Exploring Anti-Capitalist Practice

Date: 2014 March 22

Venue: Modern Art Oxford

Time: 11 – 6

Entry free. All welcome.

Can anyone be anti-capitalist, what does anti-capitalist even mean, why have an anti-capitalist practice at all? Join us at Modern Art Oxford for a joint exploration of what is meant by anti-capitalist practice – we’ll be looking at personal experiences, case studies and a little bit of theory. This is a group for everyone who feels they are in some way active in working toward an alternative to capitalism.

Installation: “Ways through Stone: Material as a Gateway to other forms of Knowing”

2014 January 2 – 3 March
Oxford Brookes University, Glass Tank

The installation Ways through Stone by Claudia D. Schluermann is the arena for a social sculpture workshop process that engages with the material “stone” as a gateway to other forms of knowing. The aim of the workshops is to access insights into the nature of imagination and the transformative potential of art processes. The installation consists of a “flow” of Cotswold limestone that follows the exact direction of the geological formation deep down under our feet, and which runs diagonally to the ground plan of the Gallery. A series of stepping-stones lead to an intimate space framed by walls surfaced in carded white wool, which create the shelter for a single sculpted stone. Sixteen wooden stools invite visitors to contemplate their connection with and understanding of the material forms. The table at the opposite end to the shelter holds three books, which present different aspects of the artist’s engagement with stone.

There are a few spaces available on the one-day workshop processes on 27, 28 and 29 January 2014 (from 10 am to 5 pm).
